Chapter 22: He is a tough guy
Sarah obviously also saw the pretty boy. She rode over and said to Leon, "That's Juan! The leader of the Red Brotherhood... Sir, he is a rogue knight hidden in the dark by the Horton family - Forcher sent him to keep an eye on me before..."
Wow, what a coincidence!
'Rogue Knight' is not a title or a type of soldier, but refers specifically to those textbook-level old rogues who have committed all kinds of evil under the command of nobles. They are usually lower-level knights, but they usually have no fiefdoms and are considered the scum of the nobles.
A knight with a fiefdom doesn't have the time to be a rogue...
I had underestimated this pretty boy before, I didn't expect he was actually a noble.
Maybe it was because of his acting skills when he ran screaming from the pub.
But before in Sarleon City, was Juan hunting down this body on the orders of the Red Brotherhood, or was he attacking himself ?
Or...both?
"Sarah, are all the Red Brotherhood in Sarleon City Duke Alma's men?"
Sarah nodded, then shook her head. "Not the Duke... To be precise, they are all Forcher's men. Forcher is the sponsor behind the Red Brotherhood in Sarleon City. He has been handling those shameful things for Duke Alma. Juan is Forcher's right-hand man."
So that's how it is, the illegitimate child turned out to be a gangster boss!
In other words, it is the protective umbrella behind the underworld!
No wonder Duke Alma is so fond of that illegitimate child.
Leon actually had a new respect for Forcher. The guy who seemed so stupid in the arena might have extraordinary ability to deal with some of the dark side of society.
Everyone is useful in some way.
Why on earth has Leon Griffin been hunted down by the Red Brotherhoods of two continents?
Li Ang had thought about this question many times, but never had the chance to verify it.
And now, looking at the battlefield where he had the upper hand, Leon felt that this was a good opportunity to get to the bottom of things - he had to try his best to solve this problem, it was not a pleasant feeling to be secretly watched by a group of killers for a long time.
Looking at the battlefield, they had already gained the advantage, and Klose and his men had already begun to surround and attack the few remaining infantrymen of the other side.
I guess the battle will be over soon.
"I need to have a good talk with this guy... Sarah, stay safe. I'm going to catch Juan."
Li Ang turned back to give instructions while quickly putting on his helmet.
Pulling out a hammer from his saddle bag, Leon planned to rush over and knock out the pretty boy Juan, so that he wouldn't run away again - Leon still remembered the guy's extraordinary agility when he ran away in Sarlion City.
The reason why he used a blunt weapon instead of a long sword was that Leon didn't want to accidentally kill him.
Seeing Leon rushing forward on horseback, Sarah cried out "Ah" but did not stop him. Then she gritted her teeth, drew the flying knife from her waist, and followed Leon on horseback.
Sarah probably thought that Leon was standing up for her, and she looked at him with quite a bit of warmth in her eyes.
After all, Leon was leading his troops in battle, but when he heard that Juan was the man under Forcher who was keeping an eye on Sarah, he immediately charged forward without hesitation. This really seemed like a chivalrous act...
Juan was looking around in panic and soon saw Li Ang rushing towards him.
He only glanced sideways, then began to gallop with amazing reaction speed, knocking over the two of his own people in front of him without hesitation, causing several wails and curses - the kind with a lot of motherfucking content.
This actually created some obstacles for Leon who was chasing, because it caused Klose and his men to miss, and the hammer-wielding strong men blocked Leon instead.
Li Ang made a circle to avoid his men, and Juan ran away from him.
The camp naturally had no walls, so Juan quickly escaped outside . His direction of escape was also very clever, as he kept running along the gentle slope near the river towards the nearby mountain.
There are no roads in this place, and most of it is barren mountains, which makes it difficult for Li Ang to display his excellent riding skills.
When it came to running away, Juan was indeed an exceptional guy, and Li Ang couldn't catch up with him for a while.
But Sarah behind her came from behind - she was lighter, the horse was less loaded, and she was much faster on the hill.
When she was still about 20 or 30 meters away from Juan, Sarah threw two throwing knives while riding her horse at full speed.
One of them hit Juan's buttocks accurately...
The other one was inserted into the horse's butt.
The horse felt pain, kicked up its heels, threw Juan to the ground, and ran away.
Juan lay on his back, howling in agony. He struggled to get up, but seemed unable to even turn over.
Li Ang whistled in admiration and looked at Sarah as she praised him sincerely: "What a skill! Such knife-throwing skills are rare!"
Indeed, at a distance of nearly thirty meters, riding on a bumpy horse, facing the fleeing enemies, he could hit the target with two shots so accurately with just a casual throw!
Moreover, both flying knives hit the most scientific places - neither causing too much damage to kill the person, nor making the opponent lose the ability to escape.
Li Ang even wondered if Sarah's ancestors also had the surname Li?
Sarah was a little embarrassed: "Uh... I was aiming at his neck..."
Okay, then he is the son of luck, and luck is also part of ability.
Why are all my subordinates luckier than me?
Li Ang thought this was unfair...
But no matter what, the person was caught and Li Ang was in a good mood.
Leon jumped off his horse, walked to Juan who was howling, and gestured in front of Juan with a nail hammer in his hand.
There was obvious fear in Juan's eyes, and he gradually stopped howling in pain.
"You are a member of the Red Brotherhood, right? If you don't want to suffer, answer my questions properly."
Li Ang didn't want to waste time talking and went straight to the point.
Juan's eyes rolled around, and then he saw Sarah walking over.
"Sarah!...Sarah is Master Forcher's fiancée! You actually kidnapped her? You also attacked the Houghton family's territory! Have you considered the consequences? You will be caught, suffer all the terrible tortures in the world, and then be crushed like a bug..."
Yo huh?
How dare you scare people in this situation?
Who would have thought that this guy, despite his timid appearance, actually had a tough heart?
Li Ang looked at Juan seriously in surprise, pulled his hand and placed it on a stone, then hit his little finger with a hammer...
The finger flattened visibly, and the sound of bones breaking and sharp and painful cries were heard one after another, scaring the birds in the mountains so that they flew out one after another.
Sarah watched the show with great interest and seemed to enjoy the scene.
"Whether I will suffer all the tortures in the world is uncertain, but you will definitely be able to enjoy it soon... Do you want to tell me?"
Li Ang raised the hammer again.
Juan's eyes were filled with tears, his whole body was twitching and he kept howling, shaking his head frantically: "No... don't..."
Huh?
What a real man?
Li Ang even admired him a little.
There was no way out; the interrogation had to continue. The hammer fell heavily again, even harder than before. Juan's ring finger was flattened, and blood even spurted out from between his nails.
This is definitely not a torture that ordinary people can endure.
Juan's pale face was covered with traces of tears and sweat. He was in so much pain that he didn't make a sound for a long time, and his whole body was tense.
Li Ang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This kid is really capable of fighting... Are the gangsters of the Red Brotherhood actually all iron-clad real men?
This is unscientific...
Just as Leon shook his head and raised the hammer again, Juan finally broke down. Perhaps he had finally recovered from the shock. He cried loudly and tried to protect his hands: "No... don't do this... what do you want me to say?... Just ask it now!!"
Um?
Seeing Li Ang's confused look, Sarah praised him: "Sir, your interrogation method is very special..."
Li Ang scratched his head and grinned.
It seems that I didn’t ask...
